In view of the limitations of objective reasons, the proportion of firearms in the new army was relatively low; in addition to one horizontal knife and one ash pole and large iron spear per person, the whole army had more than 600 pairs of rattan cards, more than 900 war horses, more than 800 bows and crossbows, more than 700 qualified firearms (most of them were Portuguese mercenaries), iron armor, and leather armor, with a total of less than 1,200 pairs, and less than 20 percent of the soldiers wearing armor.

The only thing that made Zhu Youlang a little relieved was that there were still six Portuguese-style Hongyi cannons, five thousand-pound Franc machines, and more than 20 small tiger squat cannons in the army. The Tiger Squat Cannon is easy to carry and has strong attack power, and has been dispersed into all battalions for use to strengthen firepower and make up for the lack of firearms.

The eleven cannons were used as the main equipment for field battles and sieges, and Zhu Youlang took the Portuguese gunners as the backbone, and they were separately compiled into a gun post of more than 200 people, which was used intensively.

In addition to the guards of a town, the central line now has a naval division of less than a thousand people, including three long boats, two fast crabs, and twenty-three sampans, and the others are some ships smaller than sampans, and the total number of ships of all colors is not less than a hundred, that is, there is no large warship with more than 500 materials, which can be regarded as chicken.

A month's time is not fast, slow is not slow, in the days when Zhu Youlang was immersed in military training, the situation in Guangdong became more and more unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, and the 50,000 righteous army of Lingnan Sanzhong led by Chen Zizhuang, Chen Bangyan and Zhang Jiayu finally failed to capture Guangzhou Chengcheng, and was defeated by Li Chengdong's army who returned to help, and on the way to retreat, the two sides launched another bloody battle in Yuzhuzhou.

Sanzhong's rebel army took advantage of the wind to launch a fire attack, Li Chengdong could not resist the enemy, and was defeated backwards, and the rebels pursued closely. At that time, the troops of another rebel army were ambushing near Baietan, ready to meet Sanzhong's rebel army at any time. The three loyal and righteous soldiers planted a vermilion and green flag on the ship, they originally knew, but because it was dusk and the twilight was vast, the sergeants could not distinguish the color of the flag, and saw the black pressure in front of them a warship, and came by the wind and waves, thinking that the brigade of Qing soldiers had arrived, and they couldn't help but panic in their hearts, and when they saw clearly that there were still their own people behind the enemy, they were in chaos, and finally lost a big defeat.

After that, Sanzhong entangled the defeated soldiers to attack Sanshui, and then to attack Gaoming, and then engaged with the Qing soldiers in Xinhui and Xiangshan, and later got the Ming and Qing Yuanwei commanded Bai Changcan to respond, escaped into Qingyuan, and set up a wooden fence at the mouth of the river to resist. The Qing soldiers chased after them and attacked them with fire, and the righteous army of Sanzhong was defeated again, and the leader Huo Shilian was killed, so he had to retreat into the city and hold on.

At the end of the training of the new army in Wuzhou, Zhu Youlang received a report from Tang: The Qing army had surrounded Sanzhong's righteous army in the city of Qingyuan, which was more than 400 miles northeast of Zhaoqing, and was attacking it for several days.

After some deliberation, Zhu Youlang and his ministers unanimously decided that they needed to immediately send troops to rescue and relieve the siege and recover Guangdong along the way. It's just that there was a disagreement on the selection of the commander of the army, Zhu Youlang decided to drive the army in person, and the army went to reinforce it, but the ministers headed by Zhai Shiyun strongly objected, they thought that the conquest was not trivial, although the Son of Heaven had previously shown a certain ability to govern the army and lead the troops, but after all, it was the body of ten thousand times, and the safety was related to the inheritance of the community, and he could not go to the danger in person.

Zhu Youlang knew that the advice of Zhai Shiyun and others was the opinion of Lao Cheng to seek the country, but he looked at the entire center, but he could not find a suitable commander candidate, Wu Jisi was more than loyal and brave, but he had no experience in battle formations; Zhai Shiyun is a civil minister, the governance is acceptable, the military strategy is short, the city is more than enough, and the flexibility is insufficient; Jiao Lian is vulgar and uncivilized, with superb archery and spear skills, and he is definitely a fierce general, but unfortunately the pattern in his chest is too small, he lacks strategic vision, and he is not a qualified commander.

In Zhu Youlang's heart, at the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were only a few people among the Han people who had the potential to be famous and handsome, such as Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, Li Dingguo, etc., but unfortunately two of them voted for the Manchu Qing Dynasty and became traitors, one is the leader of the Western Army, Zhang Xianzhong, who is still an anti-thief and has not yet been whitewashed.

In the lack of commanders, Zhu Youlang really did not dare to throw out the 10,000 guards and pro-army that he had worked so hard to cultivate, so he decided to drive the army in person, only by grasping the army in his own hands at all times, he could rest assured, without the support of the army, his life would be lost sooner or later, and whether he stayed in Wuzhou or not had little to do with the overall situation.

In order to block the mouths of the ministers and achieve the purpose of pro-conquest, Zhu Youlang issued an order: the eldest son Zhu Ciyi, who had just turned one year old, was established as the crown prince, and at the same time, the first assistant of the cabinet Zhai Shiyun was left behind as the capital of Xingdu.

The holy decree, a cadre of courtiers have experienced the emperor's indomitable determination from the brief will, and realized the urgency of the emperor to want to revitalize the Ming Society, and there is no reason to oppose it.

The situation was urgent, and after issuing the central decree of the imperial driver's personal expedition, Zhu Youlang summoned Zhai Shiyun, Zhu Tianlan, Wang Fuzhi, Fang Yizhi, Jiao Lian, Wu Jisi and others overnight to discuss issues such as troop transfer and salary raising.

There are more than 12,000 guards and auxiliaries in the line, and the royal driver can naturally not take all the soldiers away, one town, three regiments and nine battalions, at least two battalions of more than 2,000 troops must be left to escort the line, and the remaining 10,000 land divisions and 1,000 water divisions are used as the main force of the pro-conquest. In addition, the supply of military rations for the pro-conscription army was handed over to Zhai Shiqi, the remaining guard of the Xingdu and the first assistant of the cabinet, and Wang Fuzhi, the military envoy of the pro-army town and the military envoy of the guard, to ensure the timely supply of military rations.

"Qin Tianjian announced: Tomorrow is a good day and an auspicious day, and the sky is bright, which is suitable for the royal driver. I should obey the mandate of heaven, and all the ministers should be loyal to their duties or assist Mr. Zhai to stay behind, and they should not make mistakes. ”

After everyone shouted thanksgiving, they dispersed and went back to make preparations.

On the second day, Zhu Youlang was dressed in mountain pattern armor, surrounded by Zhai Shiyun and other ministers, rode a horse to inspect the team of the expedition, looking at the vigorous atmosphere on the faces of the soldiers, he couldn't help but be proud, he boarded the general's platform, raised his arms and shouted: "Proud Han'er, go to the national disaster together, no more rivers and mountains, and vow not to survive!" ”

"Proud of the Han'er, go to the national disaster together, no longer return to the rivers and mountains, and swear not to survive!"

"Proud of the Han'er, go to the national disaster together, no longer return to the rivers and mountains, and swear not to survive!"

……

The 10,000 guards blushed, raised their arms and shouted in unison, the momentum was majestic, shocking the heavens and the earth, and the blood of the Han'er was stimulated by Zhu Youlang little by little.

Zhai Shiyun stood behind the emperor, stroked his beard frequently, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Vitality is full and twilight is less, morale is available, morale is available!" ”
